Chapter 16: A Talk with My Father
I stared at Hades in disbelief. Could he really be my dad? I thought back to the vision that I'd had about my sister's death and I wondered if that was because Hades was my father.
"You're my dad?" I asked
"Yes, Nico." Hades said calmly "That is why I wanted to warn you about Perseus Jackson."
"Did Percy let my sister die?" I asked. Hades looked at me uncertainly and frowned.
"What do you mean?" he asked. I told him about my vision and he frowned even more.
"Well," he said at last "She has not been through judgement yet so I'm not entirely sure."
"Well," I said "They are due home tomorrow at the latest so I guess we'll find out."
"Indeed," said Hades and then he hesitated "I am sorry but I must go. My duties in the Underworld are chaotic at this moment in time but I expect to see you soon in my realm."
I wondered what he meant by that but I decided to let it go.
"Should I tell Chiron that you were here?" I asked at last but Hades shook his head firmly.
"You cannot tell anyone that I was here. At least not until the quest ends."
"Why not?" I asked but Hades was gone.
I walked back to camp thinking about what Hades had said. Really he had said very little but I still was grateful because from the moment I'd arrived at camp I had been wondering who my godly parent could be. I didn't remember my parents so it could have been any god or goddess.
As I walked along thinking about this more questions came into my mind. Who was my mother? Was Bianca safe after all? The one thing that I knew for sure was that at least one of my questions would be answered tomorrow when the quest group returned.
